Buy Mag 1 62836-6PK FMX SAE 5W-40 Full Synthetic European Formula

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 2000 VW Jetta that specs 5W-40, ACEA A3/B4, or VW 502.00. This covers all. So far my car has been running smoothly and I noticed that it has less noise at all RPM range than the SuperTech 10W-40 I had in it, which was also made by WPP (maker of Mag1). I plan to keep this for 10k miles OCI, which to me is 6 months. The nice thing about this oil other than the price (vs. $50 for Mobil 1 0W-40, Pennzoil Ultra 5W-40, and German Castrol 0W-30) is that it's a thin 5W-40 with only 12.95 cSt at 100C. Other oils in the same grade around 13.5. This is almost as thin as German Castrol which is 12.2 cSt.

You can not beat the price and quality of MAG1 oils. Compare this to Mobil 1.

Works great in my diesel, helps cold weather start ups. I am a huge fan on MAG1.

I'm new to synthetic oils but now that I've purchased a few "new to me" VW and Audi with 1.8L Turbo engines I have to run full synthetic to help prevent sludging. One of the cars I bought actually had a plugged oil pickup tube when I got it, there was massive coke build up (AKA: sludge).

I did a little internet research on synthetics, Mobile one of course is the most popular and is approved for the VW Audi engines and it's about the same price if not even cheaper at Costco or Walmart, if you don't consider your time going to Costco/Walmart as valuable; it's an hour + trip and a nightmare so that adds considerably to my "cost factor". I also read a lot that Mobile one tends to consume fairly quickly and in these 1.8t engines with only 3.7 quart capacity you have to stay on top of it to ensure you don't run low on oil. Several of these 1.8t VW Audi engines made around the year 2000 had a design flaw in that the oil pan sits over the lower subframe; therefore the oil pan is very shallow at on end reducing the capacity. Considering these are Turbo engines, the oil is worked pretty hard and starting a such a low capacity, if you lose/consume some oil (VW Audi tolerances allow for up to 1QT/1,000 miles as I recall, I could be wrong on that). Keep in mind with Oil change intervals over 5,000 miles if you are not checking your oil regularly you will quickly be running on low oil conditions which is even harder on the oil causing it to breakdown even sooner.

From what I've read, MAG1 is produced by a reputable company who also makes Walmart's house branded synthetic; I don't know that these are and identical blend but… I read from multiple sources that MAG1 is a quality product which can fairly be compared to Mobile 1, not saying it is exactly equal or better but at least in the same league.

I also read about zinc content which I believe helped with cooling and is said to be fairly high (a bonus) in the MAG1 oil.

I'm clearly not an oil expert but I understand the basics and I can say that I did over an hour of reading relevant to MAG1, it's manufacturer, and perspectives of people who are recognized as lubrication experts and I came away with a feeling that MAG1 was a good performing Lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements set by VW Audi, maybe not to lowest price but definitely competitive with PRIME shipping which I have.

I purchased a few cases and have been satisfied so far. And again, factoring in the delivery to my door with PRIME, I feel the cost is equal or better than other options that I would have to go to the store in order to get a lower cost.

Just have this oil in my VW GTI.. Seems to be good together with Liqui Moly Anti Friction treatment.

Not sure whether Mag1 is good or Liqui Moly treatment was good.

It just served its purpose!

I notice everytime i change engine oil, my fuel consumption was bad.. maybe its just me.

Cheap K&N HP-1003 High Performance Oil Filter

Both my wife's 2006 Rav4 and my 2009 Yaris use the 1003 oil filter. I made the switch to synthetic oil about 4 years ago and have saved a ton of money. I used to get oil changes every 3K miles. I also used get my oil changes at Wallymart but their totally incompetent workers finally convinced me that a blind monkey could do a better job!

Anyway...this is a great filter. As you probably have read from the other reviews, the nut that is welded on the top (or bottom) of the filter makes it so easy to remove when you do your oil changes.

I am of the mind that you can go 10 12K on synthetic oil with one of these filters. The extended oil drain theory works and saves you a lot of money. I hear some people change out the oil filter every 6K, but when you pay $10 for a filter....that gets a little expensive.

I usually buy my oil at Wallymart or Advance Auto. AA has some good deals....sometime when they run out of the free filters they give you when you buy 5 qts. of oil, they will substitute a K&N filter. So its a really good deal then!

So use the product with confidence! Especially if you do the work yourself.

The ability to snag the end of the oil filter with my socket is priceless. Use these on all four of our cars and cuts down oil change times by quite a bit. Any Honda owner knows they hide the filter to make sure you donate blood while attempting to remove it. With the piece on the end, just ratchet it off! Never a leak. Always runs for a full year, usually 6-8000 miles before change out. Combine it with superior synthetic oil, no problems. I usually order 4-5 at a time as price does go up and down.

They don't really get better than this, honestly. Don't take my word for it, do a quick YouTube search and you'll find videos of filter dissections that reveal the build quality and what's inside. What sets this one apart from the rest is the ability to remove with a standard 1 inch drive. I've got a killer grip, but why curse and fight with something when you don't have to? Totally worth the price and piece of mind. I run this on my Scion Xb with Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage.

Honest reviews on K&N HP-1003 High Performance Oil Filter

One of the reasons I use K&N is the bolt on the end of the filter....both of my vehicles have the filter located in an out of the way place....what cars don't today? The 1 " bolt head makes it much easier to take off the old filter....and according to tests, the filter is among the top in filtering capacity. I change oil at about 3-4K mile intervals and also use synthetic oil....cheap insurance IMHO !

I have been using these filters since 2006 on my Scion tC. They preform great and are super easy to replace because of the nut welded on the end of it.

I purchased this gauge as a backup to check my electrical gauge should the electrical gauge not work. I purchased the tubing kit as I was under the impression that the gauge did not come with any tubing or fittings. I was wrong! Amazon should make it clear what's included. Now I've spent an extra $7+ on a $10 gauge for nothing! I gave it 3 stars because it's a cheap gauge not used yet, Amazon's lack of details, and I don't expect it to be a top of the line performer!
